UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I've searched and searched but either I'm not using the right key words or the information isn't in print anywhere.

I'm running Cent 5.3 and I have a number of terminal profiles setup to ssh into some of my Unix servers at work, what I'm trying to do is setup shortcuts on my desktop to those terminal profiles so when I open one, it launches the exact profile I have associated with that terminal session.

Under the terminal properties there is a tab labeled "launcher" that contains a line that by default reads "gnome-terminal". I know this is where I'm suppose to enter the command sequence for the profile I want to launch but for the life of me I cannot remember what that command sequence is nor can I find any documentation on it.

I'm starting to lose hair and sleep trying to figure this out...any help is appreciated.

I'm guessing it's your .profile or .bash_profile which you can setup and execute when you open a terminal like this:

Code:

user@linux:~> . ~/.profile

HTH,
Nitin

here's some commandline options for gnome-terminal. If you need to execute a specific command when run, that'd be something like gnome-terminal --command ssh username@site

Thanks Nitin, but what you refer to is the environment profile used when you connect to a remote system using ssh or telnet. What I'm referring to is creating terminal shortcuts on the desktop of my local system that will execute the terminal session profiles I setup



Each profile has it set so that it will automatically start an ssh session with certain parameters when I open it. I actually had the shortcuts setup on my system under Ubuntu before the drive crashed and I reloaded Cent. Just irritates me that nothing like that is fully documented, even in the user manual.


Thanks for the link Corona, I might be able to decipher the exact command.
